Hey, what a coincidence. I did exactly the same with my bike, the cutting and welding process, the rear freehub with the spacers, the 55 teeth front sprocket, also the black and blue color, and obviously the centertrack gates carbon drive.
I have a problem though, I am riding my bike without the belt drive system (with a chain), because I can't find a crank. Can you tell me which one did you use?

Really cool documentation of your build! Its pretty cool to see the step by step process. Thanks for sharing. I just put a belt drive on my own bike, but you can get one from veer that is spliced to fit around your frame. I didn't feel comfortable enough to cut and weld my bike myself. I would recommend it to anybody feeling similarly. I just got it from them and it works great. https://www.veercycle.com/products/s...ed-bike-frames

I thought I'd necrobump this thread 9 years later to share that I did this again! This time, I really built one – right from scratch – as part of Paul Brodie's framebuilding class.
